Notes
- Pomegranate Juice: Use freshly squeezed pomegranate juice or 100% pure pomegranate juice without added sugar for the best flavor. Alternatively, you can use a pomegranate-flavored syrup or mixer if fresh juice is not available.
- Sweetener Options: Adjust the sweetness of the cocktail to your preference by varying the amount of agave syrup or simple syrup added. Taste the mixture before shaking and add more syrup if desired.
